Hello, all. I am a newUnixuser, and I's like some recommendations on
Unix books to get me started. I am in real life a (momentarily unemployed)
systems programmer/analyst with >10 years experience on various minis and
micros, but have never had access to a Unix system before. In fact, I am
quite anxious to learn it so I can add it to my resume :-).
So if you have any favorite (and/or detested) Unix (1) user's introductions
or (2) programmers' introductions (and note that my C is *very* rusty
(nearly corroded away, in fact)), please let me know by mail or followup
if you think it might be of common interest. Thanks!

The best Unix book I've seen for experienced programmers is: "The UNIX Programming Environment" Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike Prentice-Hall, 1984 ISBN 0-13-937699-2 $19.95 (at Dalton Books in 1984, but things change) I strongly recommend this book for anyone with ambitions about becoming a Unix/C wizard.

UNIX PRIMER PLUS by Mitchell Waite, Donald Martin, and Stephen Prata Howard W. Sams & Co., Inc. 4300 West 62nd St. Indianapolis, Indiana 46268 I purchased this book at a local bookstore (CROWN Books) for around $15.00. It's extremely friendly and sometimes humorous. Has a "Quick Index to Commands" inside the front cover. It's my UNIX bible. JP (standard disclaimer)
